THE LINCOLN STAR lANUARY 9, 1941 THIRTEEN Nova Starts Fistic Comeback Elected To Office At Sport Pow-wowb. California Fighter Seeks Regain First Division Ranking In Comiskey Scrap. By GAYLE TALBOT. YORK, Jon. To of us who thought 18 months ago that Lou Nova was heading straight for the heavy weight championship there is considerable drama promised in the big Californian's attempted comebock against young Pat Comiskey tomorrow night in the Garden.

I He Ruined? This one should tell the story: Whether Nova is back on the trail of an eventual meeting with Champion Joe Louis or whether he was ruined for good by the horrible beatinb he took from Tony Galento that cold September night In Philadelphia, when hts aystem already waa wracked by septic poisoning. then he has lived a lonely life, in and out of hospitals while apecialista tracked down the dis- Kurbance and then another long period of building back his fine physique. Lou thinks he is back now, ready to take up where he left off on quest of the title. Billy Coon was just a flashy boy out of Pittsburgh and there wa.xn’t another real challenger in sight on the night that Nova, eomplaining of a cold that later was found to be something far more serious, made the mistake of cUmbing into the ring with bold Tony Galento Philadelphia. Nova adnutted he felt terrible he had been duly warned against fighting Galento in the wild and uncharted territory south of the New York state athletic jurisdiction.

But he waa contemptuous of and supremely confident he eould lick anybody, anywhere. He had recently beaten Tommy Farr decisively and had knocked out Max Baer, so he had hia reasons lor feeling cocky. Cruelly Beaten. When he came out of the ring that night, his features mercifully awathed in towels, he was one of the most cruelly beaten fighters in history. He had been slow, kiept, and in the 14 bloody rounds before Referee George Blake stopped he approximately had a piano fall on him every seconds.

Only a few saw Nova after that night, before he dragged himself back out west to nurse a shattered dream. Those who did see him said flatly he would never fight again; he was gone for good. And he is the fellow who starts all over again tomorrow night. While he was away Billy Conn, though still a light heavyweight, won the coveted outdoor shot against Louis next summer, and now Nova faces a long haul to get back where he was 18 months ago. He Is as confident as ever he was.

still dead certain he is a tot of destiny. He says he feels better than ever before in his life, and he expects to knock out the pouthful Comiskey, of course. Old-timers around the gym where he has been working out have their serious doubts. They elaim Lou look quite the 'aame as before hard luck hit him ail ia a heap. BOUDREAU HONORED BY CHICAGO BASEBALL WRITERS RIDER JAMES ON TOP NAGS Gets Favored Horses In Big Winter, Spring Races This Year.

OUIS BOUDREAU (left), shortstop with the Cleveland Indians, was plenty happy when the Chicago chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America presented him a plaque honoring him as the outstanding rookie of the major leagues for 1940.

Messner at Third. The Cards al.so are putting some of their hopes in Steve Messner as a third baseman. He hit .341 for San Diego last season to take second ranking to the great and inimitable Lou Novikoff, whose .363 gave him the Coast league title and a tryout with the Cubs for 1941. Novikoff also was the runs batted in champion out there, among other things, and will be carrying some of the burden for the so they hope they rebuild under Jimmy Wilson, their new manager. However, while every club in the league, as usual, will come up with a number of hopefuls, it must be apparent that the Cardinals got the best of paper.

Bobby Riggs, the No. 2 net star, today was ready for the quarterfinals in the seventeenth annual Dixie tennis tournament in Tampa, the first player to blast his way into the round of eight. Riggs yesterday defeated Nelson Mason, of Tampa, 6-3, 6-4, in the second round, and then came back later to turn back Martin Buxby of Miami, 6-4, 6-4. Other top-seeded players went through their second round without much difficulty including Don McNeill of Oklahoma City, the singles champion, who turned back Homer Woodruff of Tampa, 6-3, 6-4. He will meet Vincent Paul of New York in the next round.

GOLFERS VIE IN LINKS MEET Nation's Leaders Compete In $5,000 Open At Oakland, Calif. LOS ANGELES. Ian. 9 (API Basil lames may not win the American riding championship this year but he will be aboard the favorites in the three richest horse races of the winter season. Twice On Whlrlaway.

James has a pretty nice three- horse parlay to put over, starting here Feb. 12. He will ride Bull Reigh in the $50,000 Santa Anita derby, then plane to Miami, Fla to handle Whirlaway in the Flamingo stakes, Feb. 22. In the Kentucky derby James will be atop Whirlaway.

On the basis of what has happened so far, James is definitely the jockey to beat in those three races. Considering the way Bull Reigh handled himself in Santa San Felipe stakes last week. James has the top horse. Whirlaway seems likely to open up the future book favorite for the Kentucky derby. The share of 10 per cent of the winnings looks good to James.

Wright Scored Triple. Very few jockeys have been able to score a triple in the big winter stakes. Wayne Wright did it in 1938. He won the Florida three- year-old special aboard Brevity scored with He Did in the Santa Anita derby, and piloted Top Row in ahead of the big Santa Anita handicap field. Wright missed by a whisker in trying to make four straight that year.

He had Brevity in the Kentucky derby but Bold Venture came to life and spoiled the dream. Warren Wright, owmer of the Calumet Farms, which has away, is reported angling for the contract services of the 1940 rid ing champion, Earl Dew, and if Dew signs James will not have the leg on Whirlaway, Dew may not want to be tied down to a contract, however, since his 1941 goal is 300 winners.

Colorado invasion by the Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville, national A. A.

U. basketball champions, was a total failure today. The Martin Jewelers put on a closing spurt before an enthusiastic home town crowd la.st night to wrest a 30 to 27 decision from the Oilers and hand them their third consecutive defeat in as many nights. The Colorado Springs team, led by Forward Harry Simmons, came from behind with three minutes to play and tied the score at 26- all. Two free throws by then gave the home squad a two- point lead.

Big Joe Fortenberry, the all-American center, sank a free throw to bring the score 28-27, and then gambled everything on a fast-breaking play. Instead of trying for the tying point, the Oklahomans gambled on a field goal, but the Jewelers stolethe ball and chalked up two more points of their own as the game ended.
